Getting Around Bhopal

Once you arrive in the city, you'll find getting around Bhopal is not too difficult. The city has a quality public transportation system that runs on well laid and clean roads (compared to other cities in the region). There are aggressively priced larger public buses as well as mini-buses that run through most parts of the city. You can also hire three-wheeled autos that can be found on virtually every street corner. The city is growing and, as a result, traffic is heavy in some areas.

You can also hop on board the popular Star-line buses. This is a privately owned bus line that operates moderately priced, well-equipped luxury buses. You can also rent a car with a driver if you plan to stay for longer than a few days. However, most tourists prefer to use the convenient taxi and three-wheeled auto service. Of course, many tourists also walk to the various attractions near their hotels.
